Mathematics is one of the first things we learn in our life.
Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. Math is all around us, in everything we do. It is the building block for everything in our daily lives.
To encourage and motivate students to see mathematics and it's relevance in the real world, an activity - "Maths Around Me" was conducted in Class VII.
The students presented various real life objects and examples where they see mathematics which includes timetable pasted in the classroom, the tiling of the floor, the lockers and almirah kept there, the doors of the classroom, the room itself, the lift in the school premises, the stairs we use, daily routine purchases (like bread, milk etc.), the distance covered, time taken and speed in reaching school, discount or sale, cooking, recipe, observing different patterns and many more.
It helped students in peer-learning (the various examples provided by all the students helped everyone to analyse the use of mathematics in real life) and relating the topics studied so far, with their surroundings.
Very good activity
